Abstract
Description
The genre of piano bagatelle, which is part of miniatures, continues to maintain its relevance in modern musical art and has its own history of evolution and development, which dates more than three centuries. In our opinion, the bagatelle in the works of romantic composers is especially interesting, which in many cases become the foundation for modern composers working in this genre. In some cases, in the 21st century, there is a phenomenon of the disappearance of the boundary between genre and style in the bagatelle, for example, in the work of the Ukrainian composer V. Silvestrov. In our study, special attention is paid to the search for the main features of the evolution and rethinking of the baguette genre in the piano work of B. Smetana and C. Saint-Saens. Through a comprehensive music-theoretical analysis, the genre-stylistic features of the selected works were revealed. Meter, rhythm, tempo, sound dynamics and articulation was highlighted at the syntactic level. At the compositional and dramaturgical level, the following features was shown: texture, key-tonal plan, form, dramaturgy, and programmaticity. The proposed approach makes it possible to identify the general genre and style characteristics of the romantic piano bagatelle.
